Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/826

I am installing spotify-player on arch linux with this command:
cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git --branch spotify-connect-support --locked --no-default-features --features notify,pulseaudio-backend,media-control
I am expecting pulseaudio output, instead spotify player is using rodio. From the log file:

2025-09-05T15:20:41.071597Z INFO librespot_playback::audio_backend::rodio: Using Rodio sink with format S16 and cpal host: ALSA
2025-09-05T15:20:41.071605Z INFO librespot_playback::audio_backend::rodio: Using audio device: defaut

If I use cargo install --git https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git --locked --no-default-features --features notify,pulseaudio-backend,media-control
The same command, but without --branch spotify-connect-support, everything is OK.

hmm I will close this issue then. spotify-connect-support is an old branch that I used to fix an issue so it was pretty outdated
